“You meant to hurt me, but God turned your evil into good…” (Gen. 50:20, NCV)
Does it sometimes seem like the attacks of the enemy are nonstop? Not a one of them takes our God by surprise. He saw every one of them before the world even began, and He planned ahead for each. This is why no weapon formed against you could possibly prosper.
Have you ever played chess with a computer? A PC is a daunting opponent to take on because of how intricately and far ahead it can calculate strategy. No matter how you maneuver your pieces, the computer has pre-planned a veritable plethora of ways to defeat any potential move you might make.
Our fiercely loyal Advocate is infinitely more savvy than the most brilliant computer. There’s absolutely no comparison; there’s simply no way the devil can win. No matter what move the adversary might try against you, Jesus has worked out for you the perfect path to stunning victory. What comfort you can draw from understanding that the Unbeatable Heavenly Strategist is in charge of all your battles! You win. Every time!
“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.”
(Rom. 11:33, 36; NIV)

Do you have an experience you can recount of God turning something the devil brought against you, into something amazingly good?
Jennifer, I can recall several times this has happened in my life. I believe there were many more that I did not consider, due to lack of connect the Holy Spirit.
Most current would be my May incarceration for 10 days. From the moment I was arrested, the Spirit said you have a choice. Enter into the valley of consequenses and pain, believing God will be with you or become fearful and hopeless. May experiences in the prison cell could fill a book! Our Father gave me an unshakable trust and spirit of peace. I had more opportunities to share the love of Christ then ever in my life. This all turned into a great blessing. len wisniewski

Thank you again and for the ones who comment and connect on your site. The devil is indeed stirring up the world and causing such mayhem in many ways. He does not yet realize he was defeated at Calvary and his influence on this earth is constrained by Grace no matter how hopeless it all appears. …………..
Holding on to Christ and allowing the Holy Spirit to strengthen and sustain you inwardly means that in all valley circumstances ie of your own making (societal disfunctions etc), or by sin in the earth illness, loss and sorrow etc.. God knows. He will equip and allow your life to reflect Him even in death. Jesus is LORD!
